Although that's a whole different story...

I guess it depends on the application. If this is a simple port of
one application to another database engine, it might remove the
"generics" that Java provides with JDBC ( this is why Roman
wants to implement it transparently anyway ).

It's not that it matters IF Fb can return a resultset, there simply
should be a way to KNOW if there's a resultset.

Currently, you don't.
